Periocular Surgery Manual

The goal of reconstructing eyelid defects is to restore the normal anatomy and function of the eyelid. This can be a challenging endeavour, specially with larger defects and those that involve the lateral and medial canthi. Various reconstructive techniques have been developed and the choice of technique will often depend on what portions of the eyelid are missing and the size of the defect. Due to complex anatomy and function of the eyelid and the delicate nature of the tissue, a thorough understanding of the surgical anatomy is necessary. This anatomy will be reviewed here and many of the basic reconstructive techniques will be described, which will allow for the successful reconstruction of most eyelid defects encountered by the reconstructive surgeon.

Rare Cranio – Facial Clefts

Cranio-facial clefts are a wide spectrum of malformations affecting the face and cranium in a great variety of forms. The low frequency of most of them has made its study, statistics and classification complex and uncertain for many, many years.
Facial clefts constitute the most challenging malformation as they are never the same. The surgeon must be skilful in cranio-facial surgery, maxillofacial techniques, soft tissues procedures for soft tissue reconstruction and no less important, have a solid background in management of cranio-facial anomalies. Despite all this, restoring, functional and aesthetically, a clefted face is one of the most rewarding surgeries.
